"Be itknown that I, JOHN R. FEIRQUssoN, .9g Brooklyn, inV the 'county of Kings, and State of .New Yorin/- have invented certain new and useful improvements in Refrigerators# and do hereby declare 'that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereo,'l 'efe'rence being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the .i

letters of reference marked thereon, making part 'of tbisspeciiication.

My refrigerator is constructed of the. ordinary materials and4 of .the ordinary forms 'extex'iorly. At the centre of the-interior is4 a vertical division channel, D,vformed of metal, andl divides the refrigeratcr -inA two articles, (ses M, S, R, g's. 1 and2.) Between the outer walls B and topvof the refrigerator A, also the bottom .Q, there isan interior wall, P, 'and between which and the enter, upper, and under walls the air circulates.n

'sepa-rate parts. "Each of said parts is partitioned toj 'form three distinct receptacles forlthestorage of different This refrigerator-is prcvidedfwith two doors, C C, at its front, and a door, J, at thetop.` yE represents the ice box, which is placed' near theitop of the refrigerator and directly above the division channel Dfwith the door J leading dircctlyinto it. .It will be seen thatlthe channel is enlarged at the Aupper end, form-ing shoulders, for resting the icebox. This box has an opening in its bottom to which is secured the square-shape pipe H, whichl forms a part of said box, This pipe extends dowh into 'the channel'D, nev shownin fig. 6, and is'corrn'gat'ed at its endsand provided with a, series f openings, d, above the .corrugationsJ F is the-` ic pan, which I sometimes place within the bex E for holding the ige, instead vof, a' slotted board or .gate for supporting the ice aborde' the openingat the m'outh of the pipeH. Theiuner walls 1l P ereprovided with long `and short strips, h,

tiges, placed at suitable distances 'frena each other, an'd with n. narrow space for the air to pass, while in the ends'of the refrigerator there are openings, S and t, for the ingress andfegress of the air, Thenir. isv received in the openings S at each end of .the refrigerator and passes in abovel the top. of the' upper walls P, land by means of an opening in the rear wall P goes down between the two rear walls, thence under the near treceptacle R, and from`thence (by means lof an opening. in'the nader board) into the'air-space under the other receptacle.;

B., thence up behind the wall, over the top; of .u'pper wiill 1?-, over the'other receptacle M, andinto a small'opening in the door J, 'where it circulates (over the ice) in the channels. in said door, (see s l j, fig. 4,) from thence through a small opening onto the ice, 4anddo'wn through the ice box-to the bottom ofjpipe wherefthe corrugations allow the water to drip .to thebottom of' the channel D, and the air to pass up the intermediate chan.- nels N N,f1g. 2, to the sides ofthel chambers M, and through thel openingsY-there made, and on to the .receptacles S S, again to the receptacle'sR R, and out the openings on .their sides, and'being .slightly rareiied passes and circulates up between the walls P and B, throughA the opening' seen.,- in. fig. i3,1and out Vthe opening t in the ends of the refrigerator.v Upon the receptacles R R, at each sideof'thefchannel D, there are glitters I with smell. openings which receive the drippings from the ice and carry the saine olf by a Vsmallspout or other bnitable device. I i

Having thus fully described my invention, what I clainl as nem-and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The refrigerator box with :its openings Sfand t, doors C -C and J constructed as set forth, receptacles M5 S S, and R` R, interiorwalls P P, channel D, and ice box E, all arranged and used in the manner' substantially as herein speciiied. I I ,p l
